A new track for Jubilee, recorded live with Christopher Grant Ward in San Francisco.  I think the final track will be arranged pretty differently, but this shows the general structure.

Mission

If the darkness comes this evening
how my hands will trace
all the starry night reflected
off your sweaty waist
how our bodies burning made the ground a town for passing planes
and together singing tura lura lura

Pour the holy water over our heads
Hollow out our spines
Change our blood to sap
Our bones to limbs
Edit veins to vines
What our skin remembers render into colors for the leaves
and together singing tura lura lura

Because all that I have ever wanted
All that I could need
Is to go back to the body
where I was a seed
Where we’d graft ourselves into a perfect weeping willow tree
and together singing tura lura lura
